The Jemez Mountains Trail Runs has gained a reputation as a very difficult course. The course is on technical trails with a substantial amount of elevation change. The 15 mile course will be the same as in 2016. The 50km and 50 miles races will be run in the opposite direction from 2016 with minimal course adjustments. All races will have slightly adjusted aid station locations. The 50k and 50 mile events include extremely steep climbs and descents on very technical terrain. On the course, runners will experience high altitude (from 7,000 to over 10,000 feet above sea level), fallen trees, and other obstacles. in past years, runners have experienced weather extremes including heat, cold, rain, snow, lightning and wind. Runners are encouraged to consider their comfort level on this type of terrain and weather before registering.
